LG G Watch update aims to address charging pin corrosion
Any early adopter will tell you that one of the risks you take when being one of the first to buy a gadget is that you might run into some issues that weren’t found during the product’s testing. Some LG G Watch owners can attest to this firsthand, having found that the charging pins on the back of their Android Wear device have corroded and sometimes even burned their skin. Thankfully, LG says that it’s got a fix for the issue.
An LG representative has revealed that the Life’s Good crew is in the process of rolling out an update that will fix the corrosion issue that’s plaguing some G Watch owners. The rep explains that, while the corrosion is “completely safe and unlikely to affect charging,” LG has decided to update the G Watch to disable the current that runs through the charging pins when the device isn’t on its charging dock. A Google spokesperson has also confirmed these details.
Even if LG says that the buildup on the G Watch’s charging pins is safe, I’m sure that those folks that’ve been affected by the problem aren’t thrilled to see the corrosion on their month-old smartwatch. Here’s to hoping that this update does indeed correct the issue and that anyone that’s planning to buy an LG G Watch in the near future won’t have to worry about their charging pins getting corroded.
Have any of you LG G Watch owners had your charging pins corrode?
